Anyone know Polish?

This is an odd post but cycling related so here it goes...

I am looking for anyone out here that might know Polish and might be able to help translate for a friend. The World's (for track) are being held in Poland March 25th-29th. A family of one of our riders is going to be there to cheer on their boy but the language barrier in booking things is becoming a challenge.

We have a huge audience here so I thought I would reach out and see if any of you might be able to help. Specifically, I'm looking to find an answer to this... How much would 1 room with 2 beds be for the 23rd to the 30th. Hotel: http://www.idealhotels.pl/

Thanks in advance for your help!

Any luck emailing them?

When I’m booking hotels overseas, I have had excellent luck emailing the hotel. Not only do they almost always get back to me immediately, but they usually give me a much better deal than what is listed on their site or any of the popular travel sites.

You can also go through travelpoland.com and book the hotel. I did a quick search and it looks like about $550 USD.

My colleague speaks Polish; I'll ask her!

Right. My Polish colleague has very kindly had a look.

She says the whole site is pretty unclear but this is her basic summary:

It looks like they actually have two hotels, in different areas of Warsaw. The prices are different in each. One is in Pruszków which she thinks might be an area in central Warsaw, and the other is in Świebodzin which is possibly a suburb, although she doesn’t know Warsaw so isn’t sure. It says that the prices given only apply up until the end of 2008, so they might be different now (great website updating there!) but if they are the same, nightly prices for a room for two people appear to be 297 zloty for the Pruszków one and 215 zloty for the Świebodzin one. She presumes these are nightly tariffs but again, it doesn’t say. They have contact details under ‘Kontakt z hotelami’ on the left hand side so it might be best to email them. Chances are they will have someone who speaks English as they purport to have an English section on their site, only it doesn’t seem to work.

Good luck!
